Andy K. I can only describe this as Voi Vod meets Volbeat with a touch of Faith No More and in this case that is 100 percent a good thing.

cargoliftfan This album contains heavy-riffing with clever vocal melodies. The production is neat and crystal clear. Heavy, 90's based shit! Favorite track: Quiet Man.

dimitrios28 The atmospheric breakdown in Facehugger is surreal. And the stand out track is Archean with its catchy main riff and mesmerizing solo. Awesome EP! Favorite track: Archean.

Facehugger 04:34
It looks like food to me It will let me breed It will breathe air for me For me it will bleed My love is all now for you Love to make life all anew No matter it gets you slew You never did have a clue I wait a thousand years For opportunity For me you are here In anonymity I have a necklace for you And a tail that goes right through To me you can just say mu Cover your face, I love you On your knees for my embrace Take my groin I hug your face Might is right I hug your face Might is right I fuck your face I’m your life, your ulti-mate I’m your life, your ulti-mate

Bulk Being 06:38
I don't get to no one No one gets to me Life is hurt for someone Someone is not me Someone is not me It’s so reinforcing Living for me Weakness you call me Into anthropy I needed to leave you To truly become great Weakness you call me Into anthropy That heavenly body To which I’d relate Since separate from me As I crossed the border No one – to cling to you No one – to be dragging you down No one – to oppose you No one – to throw you to the ground Just one – who knows you Just one – who always is around No one – beside you Just one – who forever is bound Still I’m not a loner There’s a voice in my head It ain’t good company I wish I had

Archean 06:35
Into the maroon flow Onrushing fell blow Usurpers, oh no! We must destroy Blade and sunspeed That's what we need To cut through the meat Of all who compete Sweep it up – pick up the piece Piss on it – strong it reeks They're not us, they're all insane See how they move, they're so afraid A fate to drown – in a sea of hate Who could live that life – give them grace Kill another foreign brother Crush the spirit of his mother Blade and sunspeed That's what we need To cut

Quiet Man 05:46
If only I could do it I've only proven that I can't How the hell 'm I supposed to beat me I'll trip and slip, Fall flat on my face Die, I'll teach you Die, you'll learn Maybe I just don't do anything It'll probably be all right The slaves will rise and we will win Oh let me see their fright Die, I'll teach you Die, you'll learn Surprise! You leaches! Surprise! Your turn… If you can lift a finger You can raise it on me Pointing out you don't need me Oh how could I keep the one, I know you'll learn to hate me I just got a taste How could I’ve made need me The one that I need? No more doubt Finish the job Look at them Close their eyes You don't have the balls You’ll run and hide Even your true love Wants you to sacrifice Yourself Those who stand tall All must fall No more doubt

Reviews:

"Overall, Bufferstate’s first EP is a nice little stoner gem sharing many similarities to Opeth’s recent material. The calm yet also slightly threatening vocals from Peter combined with the band’s flexible sound of stoner, progressive and ambient rock creates a realm of dreams that can either be a relaxing trip or a hellish nightmare."
- BelgianMetalShredder.be


"Four steaming tracks that hold the middle ground between atmospheric grunge, driving heavy rock and grooving stoner, decorated with progressive rock elements.

The polyrhythms in the drumming and sometimes odd time signatures (Tool, Voivod), fat grooves (Mastodon, Orange Goblin) and inventive prog rock parts (Opeth, King Crimson) are all there.

BufferState manages to create a beautiful, fairly original musical synergy from existing elements."
- wingsofdeath.net (translated from Dutch)


"They float somewhere between punk, grunge and postpunk, but have clearly listened to early Pink Floyd as well.

Here at Luminous Dash we eagerly await their first long player."
- luminousdash.com (translated from Dutch)


"This foursome, I think, managed to achieve a good result by throwing different genres together to make something unique and entertaining. I have to admit that this band is capable of putting strong songs into each other."
- metaltoinfinity.be


"You can hear the influence of metal, normal rock, postpunk, grunge, groovy stoner and some more styles. Musically, you will hear a quiet bit of The Ocean, that will transition to Tool and then evolve to Opeth."
-Hellspawn.be


"Four musicians for four tracks, but also four inspirations for four aspects of alternative rock music, oriented here by strong sounds calling for grunge, hard rock, math rock and stoner.
- Musicinbelgium.net


"...good atmosphere, a lightning of sounds, BufferState may be the future of the new progressive stoner."
